It was surprising when Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver announced that they were separating after 25 years of marriage, but luckily Arnold has a back-up familia already in place.

The LA Times, who broke the story last night, says Arnold had a relationship with a woman who worked for Arnold and Maria as a member of their household staff for 20 years. About 10 years ago they had a child, but the woman, who was also married at the time and whom the LA Times won’t name, kept working for the couple until this past January.

[From the LA Times:]

Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife, Maria Shriver, separated after she learned he had fathered a child more than a decade ago with a longtime member of their household staff. ...

In an interview Monday before Schwarzenegger issued his statement, the former staffer said another man — her then-husband — was the child’s father. ...

She said she voluntarily left her position with the couple earlier this year after reaching a longstanding goal of working for them for two decades. “I wanted to achieve my 20 years, then I asked to retire,” she said, adding she received a severance payment and “left on good terms with them.”

Schwarzenegger took financial responsibility for the child from the start and continued to provide support, according to a source.

Due to my awesome level of racism, I’m gonna assume this woman is Latin because it sounds like she was a maid. So if her husband was also Latin, he had to have a few questions. Like, why is our infant 4-feet tall with veins in his biceps?

Good question. I wonder why California's First Lady didn't ask it, either. (Actually, I would guess she had guessed, but like her in-law, Jackie Kennedy, Maria Shriver kept up a dignified front. That's old-fashioned classy. In the future, we'll probably see political wives going on the Maury Povich Show with their maids to find out the results of a DNA test in front of a studio audience.)

One of these days, I'll have to tell you the Maria Shriver-related story of the trick Arnold Schwarzenegger played on Sylvester Stallone one night in the mid 1980s that went on to derail Sly's career and make Arnold's.

T-Paw should leak some dirt on himself so I can remember who he is.

In other debt ceiling-related news, old iSteve philosophy phavorite Bernard Henri-Levy defends Dominique Strauss-Kahn, which, trust me, you owe it to yourself to read. Make sure to read it using an accent that's a cross between Pepe Le Pew and Daffy Duck.

it really is the best news week ever. matt yglesias. IMF leader. Ahhhhnold. Satoshi Kanozawa (sp?) offending everyone for saying what you, Steve, wrote about black women and testosterone several years ago. and now brother cornel west is snarking at brother obama over returned phone calls.

Mestiza women are not cute. I've never seen a single cleaning lady worth a second look. They're short and squat with muffin tops, and pushing those weeny carts and strollers for miles a day (with 5 kids in tow) still doesn't seem to be having the right affect.

If Mestizo women looked like "Latin" women (Selma Hayek or Penelope Cruz) I would be in favor of mass immigration at taxpayer expense...

Henri-Levi finds it unlikely that a maid would walk solo into the room of "one of the most closely watched figures on the planet." I don't think any American defense lawyer would make this argument. To think a Euro functionary, however highly placed, would draw the notoriety of Muhammad Ali or Mick Jagger is ludicrous. My guess is SK would get about the same amount of attention as David Brooks.

both the author photo, and byline, could literally be used verbatim by The Onion. No alteration necessary.

"Bernard-Henri Lévy is one of France's most famed philosophers, a journalist, and a bestselling writer. He is considered a founder of the New Philosophy movement and is a leading thinker on religious issues, genocide, and international affairs. His most recent book, Left in Dark Times: A Stand Against the New Barbarism, discusses political and cultural affairs as an ongoing battle against the inhumane."

She was in Red Sonia with Arnold, so I'm guessing Arnold may have introduced her to Stallone after he stupped her.

Stallone's misinterpreted Arnold's intro and made the mistake of marrying the Amazonian hussy. I seem to recall a nasty break up that included humiliating Sly's dimunative manhood (she was probably 6" taller than him).

She squirted out kids with several men including an NFL player and was most recently a girlfriend of Flava.

Wait.. why didn't the Kanazawa guy also get in hot water for saying black men are more attractive than non-black men?

This is a point that is often made in the Sailer-sphere, I think by people who want to praise blacks, but it is completely false.

Non-black men are much much more attractive than black men.

I personally find very few black men attractive. I guess, they can be much more virile than men of other races, and perhaps this is what is being referred to? But handsome, and especially dreamy and beautiful? No way.

Somewhat OT, Beta Male Mitch (Daniels) had his wife Cheri leave him in 1993 after four daughters, to run off with her HS sweetheart. She then came back to him when Mitch Daniels aka Beta Male Mitch ... got $40 million from the Drug Company he was exec for.

Being a stupid Beta Male, he took her back. "Vote Beta Male Mitch! Not even his wife believes in him!"

He's also a big supporter of open borders, Soros Open Society, Affirmative Action, the Mexodus, and Hard Left judges (his appointee wrote the opinion that people in Indiana have no right to prevent unreasonable search and seizure -- that the Fourth Amendment is null and void and the police can search homes for no reason at all without a warrant).

So I guess this puts to rest the rumors that Arnold was impotent or sterile due to steroids.

"Arnold would appear to stack up pretty well as a source of genes. Have no idea what his IQ might be, though."

He's not dumb, that's for sure. He studied business and knew how to turn his rather limited acting abilities into some real money, then he married into money, and hung around with rich plutocrats like Warren Buffett, and finally got elected governor of California. I doubt he's a genius but he's certainly well above average in intelligence.

From the Cornel West article:"As a young brother who grows up in a white context, brilliant African father, he’s always had to fear being a white man with black skin. All he has known culturally is white. He is just as human as I am, but that is his cultural formation. When he meets an independent black brother, it is frightening. ... He has a certain rootlessness, a deracination."

"his appointee wrote the opinion that people in Indiana have no right to prevent unreasonable search and seizure -- that the Fourth Amendment is null and void and the police can search homes for no reason at all without a warrant"

Maybe I should look up the context (was race somehow involved?), but that does not seem like a traditional "hard left" opinion to me - quite the opposite. And why was a state judge ruling on the Fourth Amendment anyway? Even if we accept the incorporation theory, that would still be a matter for the federal courts. Of course, the Indiana Constitution likely has a similar provision.

The pics of Arnold's housekeeper lover are here. Ugly as sin, as predicted, though with a nice pair of falsies certainly paid for with Arnie's money. Want some lipo to go with that? And maybe gift certificates to some healthier restaurants?

Hope she was prettier 14 years ago.

And the kid she's with? That is definitely Arnie's hair. No DNA test required.

"This is a point that is often made in the Sailer-sphere, I think by people who want to praise blacks, but it is completely false.

No doubt, a guy like Arnold has had sexual congress with other women during the past 25yrs while married to Maria.

What really pissed off his wife was that he did it with the Hispanic maid.

I've seen this in a WASPy ex-girlfriend with SWPL pretensions. She didn't mind that I had boinked other women before except for one who she deemed too far below her class. Conversely, she wasn't so "judgemental" about the Ford model.

For a woman like Maria and my ex, the idea of the sex with other women is also a self-refection of their own worth. If a guy like Arnold is mounting the maid, what does that say about the sexual value of the woman of the house Maria.

Here's the Google Wallet FAQ. From it: "You will need to have (or sign up for) Google Wallet to send or receive money. If you have ever purchased anything on Google Play, then you most likely already have a Google Wallet. If you do not yet have a Google Wallet, don’t worry, the process is simple: go to wallet.google.com and follow the steps." You probably already have a Google ID and password, which Google Wallet uses, so signing up Wallet is pretty painless.

You can put money into your Google Wallet Balance from your bank account and send it with no service fee.

Google Wallet works from both a website and a smartphone app (Android and iPhone -- the Google Wallet app is currently available only in the U.S., but the Google Wallet website can be used in 160 countries).

Or, once you sign up with Google Wallet, you can simply send money via credit card, bank transfer, or Wallet Balance as an attachment from Google's free Gmail email service. Here'show to do it.

If Chase asks for the name on my account, it's Steven Sailer with an n at the end of Steven. (Non-tax deductible.)

My Book:

"Steve Sailer gives us the real Barack Obama, who turns out to be very, very different - and much more interesting - than the bland healer/uniter image stitched together out of whole cloth this past six years by Obama's packager, David Axelrod. Making heavy use of Obama's own writings, which he admires for their literary artistry, Sailer gives the deepest insights I have yet seen into Obama's lifelong obsession with 'race and inheritance,' and rounds off his brilliant character portrait with speculations on how Obama's personality might play out in the Presidency." - John Derbyshire Author, "Prime Obsession: Bernhard Riemann and the Greatest Unsolved Problem in Mathematics" Click on the image above to buy my book, a reader's guide to the new President's autobiography.
